AM: 75F, 82%. 8.5 miles total. Today was a workout day, 6 x 800, 400m recoveries. On my warmup, which is just through nice, normal suburban neighborhoods, a lady slows down in her car next to me and yells, "Wooooo, shirtless!!" Then as she was driving off, a large dragonfly whacked me in the face. I'm still trying to process what this all means.
On to the workout... I wanted to hit goal 5k pace, which was 2:52. I averaged 2:53.3. Pretty close, considering the dew point was about 69 (1 degree shy of The Death Zone) it was actually a really good workout. Splits were 2:54.7, 53.3, 54.4, 54.5, 53.5, 49.2.
The collection of gnats on my stomach was 20% larger than yesterday's.
PM: 4.5 on the TM. Same routine: 2 miles slow, then start playing with the buttons. Today it was a couple quarter miles @ MP, then 4 x 45 sec @ 1-mile GP.
